National security adviser Michael Flynn privately discussed U.S. sanctions against Russia with that country’s ambassador to the United States during the month before President Trump took office, contrary to public assertions by Trump officials, current and former U.S. officials said.

Flynn’s communications with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak were interpreted by some senior U.S. officials as an inappropriate and potentially illegal signal to the Kremlin that it could expect a reprieve from sanctions that were being imposed by the Obama administration in late December to punish Russia for its alleged interference in the 2016 election.”

Here’s the key passage:

“Neither of those assertions is consistent with the fuller account of Flynn’s contacts with Kislyak provided by officials who had access to reports from U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies that routinely monitor the communications of Russian diplomats. Nine current and former officials, who were in senior positions at multiple agencies at the time of the calls, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters.”

“At the time of the calls” means these officials were in office during the Obama Administration.

That means it was nine Obama officials who leaked the calls.

Of course, they only “spoke on the condition of anonymity.”

What cowards!

The Trump team needs to drum the Obama people out of town.

Obama’s people are still working against Trump!

Tiger Claws at Free Republic has a summary of the Flynn situation:

“Shall we review.

1. FBI clears Flynn of lying to the FBI and no charges will be filed.

2. NBC reports NO COLLUSION found between Trump and Russia.

3. NPR backtracks and says nothing illegal took place during the Flynn/Russian phone calls.

4. Chaffetz asked for the DOJ now under Sessions to put the IG on the leaks.
